Released on 23 May 2000 via Aftermath and Interscope Records, The Marshall Mathers LP was produced by Dr. Dre, F.B.T., Mel-Man, The 45 King, and Eminem himself. It sold 1.78 million copies in its first week in the US, making it the fastest-selling album of all-time in the US before it was dethroned in 2015 by Adele’s ’25’. Landing at Number One on the Billboard 200 and staying there for eight weeks, it has since sold over 35 million copies worldwide.
Recorded over a two-month period in several studios around Detroit, the album features more introspective lyricism, including Eminem’s thoughts on his rise from rags to riches, the criticism of his music, and his estrangement from his family and wife. Built on transgressive content, the album incorporates horrorcore and hardcore hip hop, while also featuring satirical songs. The album features appearances from Dido, RBX, Sticky Fingaz, Bizarre, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Nate Dogg and D12.
Earlier this week, Fat Joe revealed that Eminem sent him around 30 variations of his verse for the remix of Terror Squad’s ‘Lean Back’. Released in 2005, the song saw Fat Joe – real name Joseph Cartagena – enlist the help of Eminem, Lil Jon and Ma$e for the remix of the widely popular track.
